Insurance coverage: the risk of living on the East Coast

There are always risks in life.
Sometimes, they’re good risks. Moving across the country (and six hours away from your family and friends) for a new job. Getting down on one knee and asking the love of your life to marry you. Having a kid (or two or three).
Sometimes, they’re not so great. Getting a perm before prom night, for example.
There are lots of ways to manage the risks in life. Insurance is one of them. There’s a good chance you know you need health insurance and auto insurance, but what about life insurance or long-term disability insurance?
We took a look into data from our Personal Insurance Checkup to see how many people on the East Coast are missing crucial insurance coverage. What we found was encouraging – for the most part, people know that they need to cover their assets, so to speak.

With every insurance type, we also found an interesting fact to underscore why that insurance is needed. Whether it’s the number of teenage drivers on the road or the number of teeth in your head, every statistic is there to help you understand everyday risk.
We also looked into other regions across the country, so if you want to see how your region compares, check them out:-> the West Coast-> the Midwest-> the South

Yes, we have to include some legalese down here. Read it larger on our legal page. Policygenius Inc. (“PolicyGenius”)
is a licensed independent insurance broker. PolicyGenius does not underwrite any insurance policy described on

insurance policy premium quotes or ranges displayed are non-binding. The final insurance policy premium for any
policy is determined by the underwriting insurance company following application. Savings are estimated by
comparing the highest and lowest price for a shopper in a given health class. For example: for a 30-year old non-smoker
male in South Carolina with excellent health and a preferred plus health class, comparing quotes for a $500,000,
20-year term life policy, the price difference between the lowest and highest quotes is 60%. For that same shopper
in New York, the price difference is 40%. Rates are subject to change and are valid as of 2/17/17.
